Here are a few reasons for oil to spray from the filter area:

  1. The gasket from the old filter was stuck on the oil filter housing and was not removed before the new filter was installed.
  2. The new filters gasket is not seated correctly on the oil filter housing.
  3. No Oil filter gasket was installed with the new oil filter.
  4. Defective Oil Filter and/or Gasket.
  5. Oil Filter Housing came lose from the engine block or mounting surface.

Why would oil spray all the oil out of the oil filtor?

At the top of the filter is a rubber seal. Sometimes when you remove the old filter that rubber seal stays in place and when you screw the new filter on the oil will spew out between the two seals. So take the filter off and check for the old seal. If that is not the problem you may have cross threaded the new filter or tried to tighten it too much and rolled that seal over. It needs to be tight but not torqued down.
